After arriving on an overnight flight, we found several pubs, and decided on Cruises/Queens Hotel Restaurant for our first taste of Irish cuisine. Since it was approaching 3pm, only Restaurants would be serving food at this point… pubs stop around 2pm.
K and I both ordered the Irish Stew and pints of Bulmer's Cider. We also shared a starter of garlic mushrooms. T had a sandwich and pureed vegetable soup. She liked it, but it wasn't what she expected. She was looking forward to having potato soup, as that's her favorite, but it wasn't on the menu today.
The stews were huge, so we had the leftovers put in a take-away box, and wandered around the shopping area.
The place had nice atmosphere, but at that time in the afternoon it was dead quiet. It was one of the only places serving food, though, so we were glad it was open. The entrance was tucked away back near an alleyway.

Cruise’s is located around the corner from the Abbey Tourist Hostel and offers a good selection of lunch and dinner items, has two fireplaces always going, and plays recorded and has live traditional Irish music. It is two buildings down from the ruined Ennis Abbey. The pub dates from 1780.
